Seonghwa’s schedule during the rest of Paris Fashion Week was a whirlwind of activity. He barely had time to catch his breath as he navigated through interviews, fittings, and runway appearances. The days blurred into each other, each one packed with high-profile events and relentless demands.

Seonghwa arrived at the Vogue Paris studio early in the morning. He was greeted by the editor-in-chief, a poised woman with a keen eye for talent.

"Seonghwa, it's a pleasure to have you," she said warmly. "Your debut has caused quite a stir."

"Thank you. It's an honor to be here," Seonghwa replied, flashing his charming smile.

The interview began with questions about his transition from music to modeling, the challenges he faced, and his future plans. Seonghwa answered thoughtfully, showcasing his passion for fashion and his dedication to his new career.

Next, Seonghwa rushed to the Dior headquarters for a fitting. The designers were meticulous, adjusting every detail of his outfit to perfection.

"Hold still, Seonghwa," one of the designers instructed. "We need this to be flawless for tonight's show."

Seonghwa nodded, remaining as still as possible. The pressure was immense, but he welcomed it. This was his chance to shine.

From Dior, Seonghwa headed straight to the TF1 studios for a televised interview. The studio was bustling with activity, and the host greeted him with enthusiasm.

"Seonghwa, you’re everywhere this week! How are you handling the pressure?" the host asked, smiling.

"It’s intense, but I thrive under pressure," Seonghwa responded confidently. "Paris Fashion Week is a dream come true."

The interview touched on his experiences, his aspirations, and his thoughts on the fashion industry. Seonghwa's articulate responses and captivating presence left a lasting impression on the viewers.

As the sun set, Seonghwa prepared for another runway show. The backstage area was a flurry of activity with models, makeup artists, and designers rushing to get everything ready.

"Seonghwa, you’re up next," a coordinator called out.

Seonghwa took a deep breath, steadying his nerves. He stepped onto the runway, feeling the adrenaline surge through his veins. The lights, the cameras, the applause—all of it fueled his determination.

After the show, there was no time to rest. Seonghwa headed back to his hotel for more fittings. The designers worked tirelessly, ensuring his outfits for the next day were perfect.

"How are you holding up?" Tyler asked, noticing Seonghwa's fatigue.

"I’m fine," Seonghwa replied, though his exhaustion was evident. "This is what I signed up for."

Seonghwa's diet was strict, consisting mainly of lean proteins, vegetables, and plenty of water. He knew he needed to maintain his physique, but the regimen was grueling.

Finally, Seonghwa managed to get a few hours of sleep. His mind raced with thoughts of the next day’s events, but he forced himself to rest. He knew that to succeed, he needed to be at his best.
